Asha Puthli is a singer-songwriter, producer and actress from Mumbai. She is one of the most successful vocalist ever to come out of India who has recorded ten solo albums for labels like EMI, CBS/Sony and RCA. Trained in Indian classical singing and a natural jazz improviser, she created her own unique sound in the 1970s - soft, slinky, sexy, meditative and chilled out. She is a 'world music' pioneer and an intrepid cosmopolite, best recognized for her daredevil vocals on the "Science Fiction" album by jazz iconoclast Ornette Coleman. Her recordings, which span styles like blues, pop, rock, soul, funk, disco and techno, have been produced by the likes of Del Newman (who has produced Elton John and Cat Stevens), and Teo Macero (who has produced Miles Davis and Vernon Reid).
